The five most savage reviews of Lindsay Lohan’s Liz & Dick

Lilo, look away now. Lindsay Lohan's Elizabeth
Taylor biopic Liz & Dick, aired in America this
weekend and perhaps unsurprisingly, the reaction wasn't great. Weak
scripting, awkward performances and production issues dogged
the Lifetime film, resulting in a rhetorical field day for critics.
Unsurprisingly, it doesn't have a UK air date yet but in the
meantime here are five of the worst reactions…

"A gender-reversed equivalent of Anne Hathaway and James Franco
co-hosting the Oscars." (TIME)

"It's an instant classic of unintentional hilarity. Drinking
games were made for movies like this. And the best part is that it
gets worse as it goes on, so in the right company with the right
beverages, Liz & Dick could be unbearably
hilarious toward the tail end of the 90-minute running time.
By the time Lohan is playing mid-'80s Taylor and it looks like a
lost Saturday Night Live skit, your body may be cramped by
convulsions." (The Hollywood Reporter)

"All it really does is make you sad about what's become of Lindsay Lohan, and wonder at the motivations
of the filmmakers who put her in this cheap-looking, exploitative
movie." (Huffington Post)

"Now that I've watched Liz & Dick twice (where is
my medal?), my only lasting impression is that I've been trolled
for three hours." (Grantland)

"The biggest televised s***show America has seen in a while."
(Gawker)
